It’s Monday!  And Monday means my Guest Room + Office mini series continues on.  Today I am sharing this quick update for my Button Box.

Button Box Supplies:

Wooden Box
Washi Tape
White Spray Paint

I wish I knew the origin of this wooden box.  It’s just one of those random things that have been in your house for 8+ years and you just figure you inherited it when you got married.  I’m guessing it was the hub’s lovely wooden box and now I’ve taken it over to hold all the millions of buttons that just appear in our lives.

While updating my guest room + office space, I went through and made quick updates to many of the little items sitting on our bookcase.  I loved the wood grain and color of this box, but decided he needed a little face lift of white.
 

How to transform a Button Box:

Using washi tape, I taped off a simple geometric pattern.

A few swipes of white spray paint and already it looked so much better.

    I have one that I got when I graduated from High school. Was doing a little searching on the web today about them, they are collectable and I seen prices ranging from $45-$60 for them. The store name in the lid makes them collectable advertising history. I wouldn’t change mine no matter what.
